About Me...
I'm 23 years old and I'm a Junior at the University of South Alabama. I am studying to be an Elementary Educator and I plan to teach grades 3-5. I want to be a teacher because I want to make a difference in our schools. We've come a long way in education, but we have so much farther to go and I want to be part of the advancement.
In my future classroom I plan to incorporate many approaches, tools, and attitudes. I believe it is important to have a strong classroom community along with good classroom management. I want my students to understand and use the technology that is available to them. Also, I want my students to master the lessons I teach and know that their interests will be nurtured in my classroom.

My Teaching Philosophy
Nurturing a Student's Interests
Every child has something that makes them tick and as teachers we should figure out what that is for each of our students and allow them to explore this in their classroom. A good way to do this is to allow free time every so often and let the students decide what they would like to read about, research, or experiment with on their own time. You much have a large selection of books and resource to harbor this. Use virtual field trips to learn about other countries or wildlife or sea life, etc. Self-education is something we start very early in life and we should teach our children to continue this so they never stop learning.
